Founded by furniture designer and architect, Gio Ponti—with the subtitle ‘Architecture and decor of the modern home in the city and in the country’—Domus is a hefty Italian bible of built and inhabited space. This is the eighth in a series guest edited by renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, part of a ‘materialist odyssey’ investigating the materials that have shaped the built world throughout human history. ‘Blurring the boundaries between inside and outside’, this issue turns its attention to plants and the corresponding domain of landscape architecture—a feature of human civilisation since the construction of the pyramids—exploring how we inhabit and shape the natural environment through a tour of six examples from around the world, from Vietnam to Sweden to Mexico. Also included in this issue: ‘Alea Lifestyle’—an overview of the pioneering office furniture design brand. domusweb.it
